Overview

Drug education is not just for educators, drug-free activists, or counsellors. The knowledge developed by experts in addiction research and treatment is useful to everyone. Our Drugs and Alcohol Awareness course will provide you with the knowledge you need to participate in the professional career race with confidence. It can aid in developing safe and efficient treatments and lessen the likelihood of rising drug usage rates in a community.

Drugs have the potential to ruin people's lives, and some of the most popular ones—including heroin, cocaine, LSD, and cannabis—lead to addiction that is nearly impossible to break. Our course on drug and alcohol awareness teaches participants how to assist coworkers and clients who are abusing drugs or alcohol. Additionally, it increases knowledge about the prevalence of substance abuse in the UK, the most popular drugs that are abused, and how to spot warning indications of a problem.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
